The start of The Binding was great, the idea of a magic where your memories could be sealed away into books is an original premise that had so much scope.
The only problem is Bridget Collins wasted all that scope on a romance that kicks in only after part one is finished and sort of forgets about the magic. The blurb tells you nothing about this book being a romance, which is why I bought it. It certainly doesn't tell you that the romance will be cringey af and really awkward to read.
I think if this was marketed as what it actually is: a LGBT romance, it might not have so many 2 star reviews on Goodreads. God how I wish I'd read those. There are so many things wrong with this book, from the bad prose, the ≥1 ellipsis on EVERY PAGE, and the ever so slightly homophobic storyline, but ultimately the problem is bad marketing. I wouldn't be in this situation of I hadn't thought it was a historical fantasy.
I admit I had to stop 70 pages from the end because I couldn't bare to waste another hour on this story.
I read the last page, it ended exactly how I thought it would. Also I apologise for the overly melodramatic picture to accompany this post, the book is beautiful and will be on my self, but I will never open it again. #book#books#bookstagram#bookphotography#bibliophile#bookworm#tbr#reading#hardback#bestseller#thebinding#bridgetcollins#help#angry#marketing#pr#badpr#lgbt#lgbtq#romance#magic#fantasy#historical#history

/ As I write, at the end of the first long season of Revolution, the Negro is not unmindful of or indifferent to the progress that has already been made. He notes with approval the radical change in the administration’s approach to civil rights, and the small but visible gains being made on various fronts across the country. If he is still saying, “Not enough,” it is because he does not feel that he should be expected to be grateful for the halting and inadequate attempts of his society to catch up with the basic rights he ought to have inherited automatically, centuries ago, by virtue of his membership in the human family and his American birthright. /

Good morning!! It’s ridiculously smokey over here - hot weather combined with wind and dry thunderstorms has made for a hell of a lot of fires, big and small. The past few days it’s been almost a constant smell in the air, even though we’re not particularly close to any of the fires (which I’m incredibly grateful for). I hope that anybody who’s near them is safe and has some sort of fire escape plan, should they need it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

QOTD; How’s the weather where you are? As I mentioned above, it’s hot and smokey here. The storms were all last week, and I’m hoping we don’t get anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I was tagged by @books_mccoy to do the #top5authorsfromanothercountry tag! This isn’t a particularly difficult one for me, as most of my favourite authors are from countries that are not Australia (though, of course, there are many brilliant Australian authors out there) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello, hello @briarwick 🥰 My name is Melissa. I’m a dangerously close to 30 native Tennesseean who’s currently living in the desert of Arizona! I spend my days chasing my wild child (an almost 4 year old boy) and helping to run my family’s wedding gown business
.
.
My favorite book(s) right now are between ACOTAR series and Strange the Dreamer duology. It’s so hard to pick between them! Both speak to me on such a personal level. My favorite character would have to be Mor, though. She’s such a beautiful soul. She’s been through hell and back and still managed to have a beautiful soul
.
.
I think I’d make a great rep for you because I am obsessed with your candles and love to show them off! There’s something really awesome about being able to connect a scent to a story. It heightens the experience and brings back from memories every time the candle burns, and I want to spread that experience with everyone!! Thank you for considering me, and good luck to everyone who enters! .

Thank you to @williammorrowbooks #partner for my ARC of this book!

Darby is a college student and she just got word that her mom, who she hasn't always gotten along the best with, is sick with cancer. She is driving home from school for Christmas so that she can see her mom one last time. There's a huge snow storm and she ends up getting deserted at a rest stop. She's with four other strangers: Lars, Ashley, Ed and Sandi. Ed and Sandi are cousins, Lars and Ashley are two other random men - at least that's how the cars outside make it seem.
.
Darby is desperately trying to contact her sister and police in hopes that they can help them get out. However, the area they are in is a no service area. She is outside trying to find service when she notices something pop up in one of the cars. Did she just see a hand of a child?? Darby tries to shake it off but Lars gives her a creepy vibe and she ends up investigating. What she finds is horrendous. From here, the story goes into full action. Full of twists and turns. All I can say is Trust. No. One.
.
I flew threw this book so fast once I really got into it. I stayed up reading late (which I honestly don't do very often) and even after staying up late I was hyped up on what was going to happen. This is definitely a heart pounding, what's going to happen next Thriller. You want a thriller with a really happy or calm ending? Yeah, this is not the book that is going to give you that.
.
So why the 4.5 stars? The book started out slow for me. I know that may sound crazy to a lot of people but the first ~60 pages was a lot of anticipation and I figured this would just be another thriller that has a few twists and turns but isn't too intense. Obviously, I was wrong and this shot up to a 4.5 the last 220 pages of the book with non-stop action.

If you like thrillers and can handle the triggers above, definitely pick this one up. #noexit

“But kissing Locke never felt the way that kissing Cardan does, like taking a dare to run over knives, like an adrenaline strike of lightning, like the moment when you've swum too far out in the sea and there is no going back, only cold black water closing over your head.” --Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

I FINALLY got my copy of The Wicked King! And how gorgeous do the B&N editions look next to each other?! I can't wait to dive into it and fill the hole that TCP left behind 💛. .

Court of Deceit is one of my favorite @wickandfable candles. Use ENCHANTED10 to save!✨

It’s so cold today. Like, you go outside and your bones start clacking cold. The good news is that there’s more snow in the forecast! And I’m not saying that facetiously. My philosophy is: if it’s going to be cold, it ought to be snowy. I’ve also somehow found myself reading two novels about maritime disasters: the Titanic and the Wilhelm Gustlav. Which makes my reading life a little confusing and a lot tragic at the moment. But I’ve always loved anything to do with the Titanic, so my Leo-and-Kate-loving-fourteen-year-old-past-self is feeling all the feelings. Yes, I was one of those Titanic obsessed teens. Still am, actually (except for the teen part). Is there a niche topic that gets you every time?

Who's your favorite strong female character? I adore Sophie Hatmaker -- she's resilient, clever, and quietly shapes her world in the same inexorable way as ocean waves. <3 .

((also, if anyone is curious about these things, I am totally stealing my own pics right now and just putting new covers in them... Moving is the <worst> and literally all of my books are stacked in the floor of my new apartment right now. 😭 Next month will be all new content again!))

I need recommendations! After reading Bad Blood I have found a love for non-fiction and memoirs. I started this one over the weekend and I am obsessed! The history of the lost city is fascinating and the fact that they found it in 2015, just wow! I can hardly wait to get to that part. What is your favorite non-fiction book or memoir/biography?!

Happy Monday! It is currently freezing where I live, and it is hard to imagine what life is like when it’s sunny and warm. But Love and Gelato is a book that takes you on a summer trip to sunshine-filled Italy and meet cute Italian guys, lol.😂 But the plot is more about learning how to deal with the loss of a loved one, and I really appreciate the way grief was represented in this book. You guys should give it a read if you have the chance!

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Mine is cookies and cream!😍

I missed yesterday's post so you get two posts for today! the prompt for the #blackbloodrelease tag yesterday was "Wolf Pack: favorite animal companion" and boy if you haven't met Bayn the wolf, you are Missing Out. <3 He's loyal, he's clever... and he's way smarter than a wolf is supposed to be, even in story, so I have SuspicionsTM.

Afternoon!!!
Do you have authors that when they have a new release, you automatically have to buy? @aghoward_writes is one of those for me!! I love what I have read of her Splintered series. (I still have to read the last book 🙈 but the others are amazing!!) I am so excited to start this one, sounds great and the cover is Beautiful 💜
It is horribly cold here!! Like -27 with the windchill!!! I am so glad I got out the other day after it snowed to get a few pictures 😁
If it’s cold where you are, stay warm!!
If it nice where you are, I’m totally jealous!! 😂

So apparently today is the most depressing day of the year #bluemonday 😎
.
I didn't even know about this, until my colleagues started talking about it. Come on.. it's just another Monday right? 😉😊

Did anyone feeling the blues? .
